Harnessing glycobiology to combat infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance

Fighting infectious diseases differently

At AIS Biotech, we are developing a new generation of anti-infective biotherapies inspired by nature.
Our mission is to prevent and treat infectious diseases using glycomimetic biotherapeutics that mimic host-cell receptors to neutralize pathogens.

We believe the future of infectious disease management requires:

  • Novel mechanisms of action
  • Reduced risk of resistance
  • safer therapies

Our platform is designed to address:

  • viruses
  • antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
  • And future emerging pathogens within a One Health approach

Sugar-based decoy receptors to trap pathogens

Many viruses and bacteria infect human cells by binding to specific sugars naturally present at the cell surface.
AIS Biotech develops innovative glycomimetics capable of neutralizing pathogens by mimicking their natural cellular receptors, preventing infection and limiting disease progression.

A scalable glycobiotechnology platform

Using engineered bacterial strains, AIS Biotech produces complex custom oligosaccharides that mimic natural pathogen receptors.
These oligosaccharides are then assembled into multivalent biotherapeutics capable of neutralizing pathogens with high specificity.

Building a pipeline of next-generation anti-infectives

Positioning

  • Prevention
  • Treatment
  • Pandemic preparedeness

Key benefits

  • Universal approach against Influenza A & B
  • No annual adaptation required
  • Nasal administration
  • Potentially low resistance risk
  • Prophylactic & therapeutic use

Development status

  • Preclinical development
  • Clinical entry preparation

Beyond influenza…

AIS Biotech is leveraging its platform to develop additional anti-infective programs targeting pathogens that rely on sugar-mediated host attachment.
Our platform is already being applied to several high-value infectious disease targets beyond influenza, including viral and bacterial pathogens such as:

  • Avian Influenza
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Staphylococcus aureus…

Strong concluding sentence
Our platform is designed to rapidly generate new glycomimetic candidates against future emerging infectious threats.
